12.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Prior to servicing the electrical system, be sure
to turn off the ignition switch and disconnect
the battery ground cable. While removing the
battery first disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable. While reinstalling the
battery, first connect the positive cable and
then negative cable.
2. Secure the wiring harness by using clamps so
that there is no slack. However, for any
harness which passes to the engine or other
vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some slack
within a range that does not allow the engine
vibrations to cause the harness to come into
contact with any of the surrounding parts, and
then secure the harness by using a clamps.
3.
If any section of a wiring harness interferes
with the edge of a part or a corner, replace the
part of harness or wrap the section of the
harness with insulating tape.
4. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be
careful not to pinch or damage any of the
wiring harness.
